None of the answers above are the prime factorization of 88
Each one of them is way too big.
88 can be broken down in 11 x 8
While 11 is prime, 8 is still composite and can be broken down into 2 x 4
The 2 is prime but the 4 is still composite so it can be broken down into 2 x 2, both of which are prime. So it appears we have (in numerical order smallest to biggest):
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 or 2³ x 11 this is the correct prime factorization of 88.
Check: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 x 11 = 88

Answer:
D. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Aidan, please use more parentheses so that there's no question about what's being divided by what.
I am unsure whether the final " /a " indicates division of (b+3) by a or division of the entire expression before " /a " by a.
Here is the way I'm going to interpret your math problem:
b 2(b+3)
a+5 - ------ + ---------
b-4 a
Subbing 2 for a and 3 for b, we get
3 2(3+3)
2 + 5 - --------- + -------------
3-4 2
12
This comes out to 7 + 3 + ------ = 10+6 = 16
